About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few months ago, an elderly gentleman arrived for his routine check-up with a curious item in hand. As he approached the reception desk, the nurse noticed something unusual—a small wooden carving of a doctor, complete with stethoscope and clipboard. The nurse smiled and asked him why he brought it. Turns out, it was a gift from his grandson who worked as a toy maker. The old man explained that every time he came here, he felt like he needed a little reminder of good care. Since then, everyone at the clinic keeps an eye out for the next patient carrying a handcrafted figurine—though most often it's just some confused neighbors bringing in their forgotten lunch boxes.
2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual outside Novant Health’s doors—a small flock of ducks waddling towards the entrance. They seemed determined to make their way inside, quacking insistently. Curious, he followed them and saw that the door was slightly ajar. With a smile, he gently nudged it open wider for the little feathered friends. The ducks waddled in, chattering happily among themselves, as if they’d found their very own park. A few minutes later, a concerned nurse asked what all the commotion was about—turning out to be the first patient of the day, arriving with a box full of breadcrumbs.
3. At lunchtime one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Novant Health’s loading dock and wrinkled his nose at an odd scent. Curious, he followed it inside, only to discover that the smell seemed to originate from an unexpected source. As he peered around, he noticed a familiar face—an elderly patient who always came in for knee replacement exercises. Turns out, she had been baking cookies for her therapy sessions! The whole clinic was filled with the sweet aroma of chocolate chip cookies, and everyone laughed, realizing why they smelled something unusual. From then on, patients looked forward to ‘cookie therapy’ days.
4. At dusk one evening, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he heard a strange noise coming from inside the clinic. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man adjusting his glasses with a puzzled look on his face. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the sound effects from an old movie playing in the waiting room. The delivery driver laughed it off as just another quirky moment in life, finishing his work and heading home to his own cozy clinic of cats.
